ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[The Nemesis]

Just ordered another 6600 from the egg. Gotta love their free ground that gets to me in two days. Hoping to get a better batch# because mine requires 1.5vcore set in bios to do a measely 3.2ghz 12hours orthos stable. I want 3.6ghz I'd settle for 3.4ghz, but I don't want to have to put 1.5vcore on the cpu for either. I determined that the cpu was holding me back because the MSI board faired no better. It did however have less vdroop. Gonna give it a couple of more weeks and order another p5w dh too. Unless someone can point me to someplace thats selling the board with the new 1.85v chipset available. I think asus will make a bios for this board that's as good as the p5 model. Sli is a must for me & I don't think the P5 model can do sli witht he modified drivers. Come on ASUS get that stable overclocking bios out!

I am so tempted to do the same. I ordered up a P5B Deluxe...shoulda just grabbed another E6600. You can always feeBay them if they suck arse.
